VisionMaster FT Chart Radar

Sea It Your Way.

The VisionMaster FT Chart Radar is a software upgrade to the VisionMaster FT Radar/ARPA, which integrates basic electronic charting capability with the full radar functionality for improved watchkeeper efficiency and safety at sea. The Chart Radar configuration is type-approved to IEC/EN 60936-3 (Radar with Chart Facilities) requirements for both standard and high-speed craft. In addition, the Chart Radar complies with all applicable standards for Radar.ARPA.

Electronic Chart Capability

Chart Radar displays official ENC vector-format charts, integrated with the radar picture. The density of displayed ENC chart information is selectable by the user, ranging from a simplified presentation of shoreline and navaids to a fully detailed display. Voyage plans from the VisionMaster FT Radar are automatically overlaid on the chart display. Charts may be uploaded into the system through a standard CD-ROM or DVD-ROM or via the optional Performance Based Navigation VisionMaster FT GateWay.
